it's real funny to see yet another film vs digital debate. Actually, the choice is already clear, even in 2 years ago, that digital already win when compare to flexibility, usability, quality and dynamic range (yes, quality and dynamic range!). No, I'm not talking about those digital cam, those little DC sucks. I hate to use them and I don't have one. Instead, what I'm talking about is DSLR. The current DSLR, 1D mark II and 1Ds mark II, already have a much higher resolution and dynamic range than 35mm film. They win at a large margin. I know that because actually I'm using 1D mark II. Now 1Ds mark II is even comparing with 4x5 large format digital scans. Although on resolution wise, 1Ds mk II falls short of it, the difference is not large. And remember, 1Ds mk II frame size is much, much smaller than 4x5 film! Just give you a site for more info on these issues: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
